Looks like the drug supply chains haven't been affected by Brexit.

That was the claim from Boris Johnson yesterday in an*interview with the BBC. The prime minister said he was “proud” that the government had “pumped up” the National Living Wage as part of a “jobs-first recovery” from the pandemic.

The National Living Wage has increased every year since it was introduced by David Cameron’s government in 2016.

It sets a legal minimum for workers across the UK aged 23 and over (younger workers are subject to lower rates on the National Minimum Wage).

But Mr Johnson’s claim that the most recent rise in the Living Wage was the highest ever doesn’t add up.

In April 2021, the Living Wage rose by*2.2 per cent*compared to the previous year. But in April 2020, the rise was nearly three times larger at*6.2 per cent. And in 2019, the boost was 5 per cent.

In fact, the most recent rise was the lowest increase in the National Living Wage since the policy was first introduced.

Well, to be fair to the useless fat tub of lard currently impersonating a prime minister (when he's not too busy hiding in fridges, reading Asterix books or dipping his ****ing wick in places he shouldn't} he's not really lying, is he?

They did increase the minimum wage by a record amount, unfortunately it was by a record low.

Claims of Anti-Semitism because they dared to criticise Israel... sad but predictable.

I see Johnson is planning to increase National Insurance across the whole of the UK, to help fund things like Social Care.... in England.

If you need this money, why not just be honest and increase the upper tax rate by one per cent, as has been done in Scotland?

Why does Boris not just give the NHS the 350 million a week from the side of his bus like he said he would do?

£18 billion a year would cover it nicely.

So many choices they have to fix their problem, but they've decided to tax the young again.

Pitiful.

You can't share what was never there.

Where did it go? Maybe even the Nasty party might struggle to spirit it away to their chums if it didn't exist in the first place?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...5d8689303e.jpg

Every time there’s a story about finance or borrowing or cost of living, the Daily Mail readers bleat “don’t get it if you can’t afford it”.

Same applies for Brexit - you voted for it, you pay for it. Don’t expect the rest of us to bail you out for everything that you want.

So far...
PM confirms 1.25% hike in NI + dividend tax, first and foremost going the NHS, 36bn over 3 years
Lifetime limit for care costs for individuals will be 86k
If you have assets btw 20k and 100k you'll be eligible for some support
5.3bn extra until 2025 for social care

Important to note PM says cap will be for those 'starting care' from October 23, implication the limit won't apply to those already in the system + White Paper on 'integration' of health and care, how the care system might actually be reformed won't come til later in the year

It's just insane now they've got away with this lie, and no journalist is willing to call them out.

They've just broken a manifesto commitment in order to save the NHS, after campaigning for Brexit on the basis we could give £350m a week to save the NHS. How the actual f*** is that not getting torn apart?

Are the Tories the party of high taxes now? Because if Labour had done this they would be hammered. Covid wouldn't save them.

36 billion required for the NHS, yet they just gave away/stole 37 billion for a failed track and trace system.

Crooks.

Sure I read somewhere it was world beating.

Covid certainly created the opportunity for some world beating contracts to be awarded free of proper scrutiny.

The wealth of UK billionaires is up by £106,500,000,000 in the pandemic.

But instead of making them pay more, the Tories are raising National Insurance, hitting low paid & young workers the hardest.

Social care should be funded with a wealth tax, not a tax on the working class.

Tory manifesto promise broken again.

BREAKING Triple lock on pensions has been SCRAPPED for 2022/23

It means pensions will NOT rise by 8% next April. Instead will rise by inflation (or 2.5%).

Therese Coffey says it's to stop pensioners "unfairly benefiting from a statistical anomaly".

Is only for one year

This could come back to bite them on the bum. Inflation is surely higher than 2.5% if the cost of food is rising.

Imagine Corbyn presided over a 8% rise in food prices.
Imagine Corbyn presided over 100,000 Covid deaths.
Imagine Corbyn gave cash bribes to Taliban.

Imagine the press reaction.
